This is the Cutest Mother-Daughter Combo Ever!

These are some great friends of my cousin who decided to have a fun day out with me at Sloss Furnaces.  The girls decided to throw on the cowboy hats and boots with the fur for an awesome session.  I loved hanging out with them!  Here are my favorites.

My friend Holly and I ran into each other a few months ago for the first time in about four years.  She introduced me to a wonderful man named Kevin who had recently asked her to be his wife.   I was so excited when they decided to let me do their engagement photos!

Holly and Kevin are such a great couple!  We had fun exploring different areas of Birmingham.  It was nice to hang around such warm hearted people who love God.

Take a peek at some of the fun we had.

Katie, Ricardo, and I had an awesome day out doing their engagement photos a few weeks ago.  I’ve known this couple for years and it is exciting to see them get ready to tie the knot.  We went all over town taking photos and had a great time.  Here is a peek…

Fitzgerald Siblings

Patrice is a close friend of mine who wanted me to photograph her with her brother Richie.  This brother and sister combo was a fun photo session.  The day consisted of piggy back rides, laying in the grass, and shoving each other around (almost in the water!)  Here are a few of my favorite shots.

Katie and Wes…So Adorable

MLP_9542

Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending time with and getting to know Katie and Wes who are soon to be husband and wife in 2010.  For their engagement session we decided to photograph in Florence, AL; the city where Wes asked Katie to be his wife.  Florence is one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to in a very long time.  Not only did I enjoy my scenic autumn drive, but I had a blast spending the day with this sweet couple.  Here are some of the shots.  Enjoy!

Lauren and Blaine! Engaged!

This young and exciting couple spent an afternoon with me walking around downtown Birmingham.  After old buildings, railroad tracks, and muddy fields, we came up with some awesome images!  Here is a taste of our fun time!MLP_9372MLP_9391 MLP_9451 MLP_9454 MLP_9463 MLP_9479 MLP_9497

Thanks so much Lauren and Blaine!  I had so much fun getting to know you guys!

The artist in me is coming back!

A few months ago I literally woke up one morning and thought to myself “I really want to start drawing again.”  I grabbed the first sketchbook I could find and decided to start a drawing based off of one of the bridal pictures I had taken of my cousin, Belinda.  I worked on it for a few days and this is what I came up with!
